Public Service Message

It is too important to wait a second longer.  You need to stop whatever it is you are doing and listen to me.  This is not something you can put off any longer.  Do I have your attention?  I mean your full attention.  I cannot pound these keys any harder or faster to get this message across to you.  This is the most important message you will ever read.  I am not kidding.

Are you listening?  Really listening?  This is not my message but this message comes from the Most High.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

This doesn’t say some have sinned.  Do you see that three-letter word?  ALL!  That includes me and you.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Holding on to sin will bring death.  Death in this passage is the reference to the eternal separation from God.  Closing your eyes for the final time and realizing you are not in the presence of the Lord is death.

Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Your heart and your mind have to come to an agreement and having it pour out of your mouth gives confirmation that the agreement has been made.

Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Many will call on the name of the Lord, but so many call on Him in vain.

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Transformation from the inside out giving evidence of the will of God through a life well-lived.

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

There is that three-letter word again.  ALL!

Galatians 5:19-23  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

To practice something is to repeatedly perform some act or thought.  We practice all sorts of things including sin.  Practicing sin keeps us separated from God.  Repeatedly performing some act or thought contrary to the will of God without confession and doing away with that contrariness will keep your inheritance from you.  Sounds like some will be written out of the “will” of God.  You know a will is a final testamentary from someone.

Did you hear me?  I don’t want you to hear me for the sake of me being heard.  I want you to hear me for your sake.  If one hears this and comes to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Savior and Redeemer then there will be a celebration in heaven.

Matthew 18:13  And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

I do not need to know whether or not you have this assurance.  But I do remind you that if you have this assurance then you have received a commission.

James 5:19  Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Will you share this message?  Not this writing I have written and copied from God’s Holy Word but will you share the message of forgiveness and redemption?  This is the most important message you will ever share.  If you don’t share it someone you know may be eternally separated from God.
